Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are under federal investigation, two U.S. officials told WCCO on Friday afternoon.
Walz and Frey are being investigated by the Department of Justice for allegedly obstructing law enforcement activities, the officials confirmed.
WCCO has reached out to Walz's and Frey's offices for comment.
The investigation comes after New details were released on the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good in south Minneapolis by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. The reports say Good had at least three gunshot wounds on her chest, her left arm and a possible one on her head.
President Trump on Thursday threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to deploy troops to quell protests in Minnesota after two shootings, one fatal, by federal immigration enforcement agents there. On Friday, Gov. Tim Walz's office confirmed that he is "engaged in an ongoing conversation with the White House."
